I wouldn't be too concerned about this. Especially if you have confirmed she is indeed pregnant. This is a very subjective assessment. I would try weighing her to determine if her weight is actually fluctuating. All sorts of things can cause her stomach to look bigger including a full stomach after a meal, gas accumulation in the intestines and stomach, and feces along the intestines due to slow motility. These are all probably caused by the pregnancy and the limited amount of room that is now available in Angels abdomen. As long as she is still eating, drinking, urinating and defecating normally I wouldn't be too concerned. If she is acting abnormal or if you aren't sure if she is actually pregnant, then a visit to the vet for an exam is highly recommended. Best wishes with Angel moving forward. Take care.
